Question: Do the suction and discharge isolation valves function properly? (Do they “hold”). If not, should we provide alternate pricing to drain the lines? Should we also include pricing to replace the valves that have failed?

Answer: Yes, the suction and discharge valves function properly.

Question: Are there any controller or communication issues we should be made aware of?

Answer: Yes, the compressors after installation need to be computer programmed to the existing chiller system.

Question: Compressor Failure: Is there any available information regarding the cause of failure of the existing compressors (e.g., mechanical failure, electrical fault, bearing failure, etc.)?

Answer: There is nothing wrong with the 2 existing 500 series compressors. They just do not communicate with the BAC unit.

Question: Refrigerant Handling: After recovery of the refrigerant per EPA requirements, should the contractor plan to reuse the recovered refrigerant, or should the system be recharged with new refrigerant after installation of the replacement compressors?

Answer: The refrigerant loss would be 5# or less of freon during construction.

Question: Is there a specific route to take when removing the compressor, due to the 2 blue hoses that must stay connected? Can we use a ramp over the hoses?

Answer: Yes, a ramp could be used but also a extended boom forklift to reach in and remove the chiller compressors.
